Please note the following: In the context of the interplay of genes and environments–unless the article states otherwise–cultural, historical, political, economic, natural and biophysical factors are viewed as dynamic and interwoven environmental conditions and not as isolated variables.
In addition, the use of the word ‘interplay’ in the context of ‘gene-environment interplay’ and other similar sentences is defined according the following article: Allegrini, A. G., Karhunen, V., Coleman, J. R., Selzam, S., Rimfeld, K., von Stumm, S., … & Plomin, R. (2020). Multivariable GE interplay in the prediction of educational achievement. PLoS Genetics, 16(11), e1009153.
“Quantitative genetic theory distinguishes two types of interplay between genetic and environmental effects, genotype-environment correlation (rGE) and genotype-environment interaction (GxE).”
